Value Collection 705266PR Set Screw 10-24 X 1/4 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705266PR is a 10-24 x 1/4-inch oval point set screw manufactured from austenitic grade A2 stainless steel. It features a 3/32-inch internal hex drive and is produced to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and material standards. The oval point geometry provides moderate holding force with reduced surface damage compared to cup or cone point designs, making it well suited for locking adjustable components without marring a shaft. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener when securing collars, pulleys, knobs, and other hardware to shafts in assemblies where the fastener sits flush with or below the part surface.

This set screw is used across a wide range of mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and industrial maintenance applications. It is appropriate wherever a corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic fastener is required — such as in food-processing equipment, marine environments, or wet mechanical rooms. The UNC thread form and 1/4-inch overall length make it a common replacement or stocking fastener in maintenance cribs and shop bins. It is sold with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Austenitic grade A2 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• Oval point reduces shaft surface damage compared to cup or cone point styles while maintaining positive engagement
• 3/32-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and Allen-type drivers
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards for dimensional accuracy and material compliance
• UNC thread form (10-24) for broad compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes
• Compact 1/4-inch overall length for shallow boss and thin-wall applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC-thread replacement or stocking set screw for any 10-24 tapped hole application requiring an oval point, hex drive fastener in austenitic stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32-inch hex key or Allen-type driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Apply thread-locking compound only if specified by the equipment manufacturer, as removal can be difficult in small stainless fasteners due to galling. A licensed mechanic, millwright, or qualified maintenance technician should verify correct torque for the application using an appropriate fastener reference standard.
